-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 i have taken over maintaining the freebsd port of jde for freebsd. i have tried building jde and as others have noted here, there are numerous code changes required. are there any repositories where i can access work that may have been done to address this issue? if not i suspect i will have to make them myself and submit them back to this list. freebsd's "emacs" is emacs22, so i have no concerns for supporting emacs21, but i would also prefer if my changes did not diverge too far - From the core source. i have seen suggestions here for maintaining backwards compatibility with emacs21 - i suggest simply closing off the 2.* branch as the last branch for emacs21 users. start a new branch (3.*?) and offer it for emacs22 and above. anyone with emacs21 can go and get the closed 2.* branch and use it until they upgrade to emacs22. i have only recently subscribed to this list, hopefully the subscription will be resolved by time this is forwarded.... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkgh2xsACgkQxRg3RkRK91N4gwCeL5ARj7ebUO+3pYbyM9k9OZPV bHEAnj9jb8hMknwW/lQW3b73LBCLjWMq =xBp4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |

Brad There hasn't been a lot of development, I am afraid. There is a build system in a branch, and some changes to the trunk. But we haven't got a new release out with changes incorporated. If you are willing to do the work then that would be great. In terms of support for emacs21, I'd agree, that it makes little sense to support it. Phil |

Well, we don't have much in the way of plans I am afraid, so you won't be delaying anything. The day job problem is shared by everyone else, also, I think. Phil |
